- Double-weighted statement
- This 100,000 word monograph provides an original study of narratives of working-class housing across a period spanning over 130 years. It engages with a large body of material – including Victorian urban investigation, autobiography, modernism, middlebrow fiction, and film – in order to trace the development of the political and affective terrain of ‘housing’ against more conservative discourses of ‘home’. Its fresh approach centres on the previously marginalised working-class interior, developing a broader critical argument about dwellings as sites of social formation.
